Re: Jscript question, building a shader.

[Olivier Jeannel]

I'm already lurking a bit at vex in houdini, it doesn't seem far from JS.
But anyway, I'm missing the basics whatever the langage, the switch to
Houdini is not soon, my heas is exploding atm...
But that's really pleasant nonetheless when it works.

So far in xsi I have a complete set of two tools to put 1 texture per
polygon.
I have
1 python script (rray.de) to generate the uvs per poly (I also have an ice
tree that does the same job )
1 Jscript that automaticly build the shader and do the connections.

Not fully procedural, but not too bad :)))

If you are really considering learning programming, I would recommend you
learn python instead.

You will be able to use it another apps like maya or houdini.

Re: Jscript question, building a shader.

[Olivier Jeannel]

Hey, I have something working good ! :)
My only problem is with the names :

They are named like this : "visage_5.tga"

I do :

for (i=0 ; i<20 ; i++){
SICreateImageClip("Pictures\\Visages\\Visages_"+i+".tga", null, null);
}

it works good until itteration 9
I get :
"visage_9.tga"
at 10 I get
"visage_10.tga" istead of "visage_00010.tga"

Can you guys tell me if there is a syntax to have the number increment but
keep the number of digit ?

Otherwise, it's awesome :))

 Hello there,

 Following my yesterday question "1 texture per polygon", I ended up
 connecting a huge TextureArraySwitch with up to 95 Textures. Did it by
 hand, took me a while.

 Ok no my deep desire is to do it with Jscript.
 Now, I have this :

 for (i=0 ; i<10 ; i++){

 Application.SIAddArrayElement("Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Material.Texture_Array_Switch.values");
 }

 //it creates 10 entries in the node

 I need to populate each index value with incrementing values

 for (i=0 ; i<10 ; i++){
 SetValue("Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Material.Texture_Array_Switch.values.Item[i].index",
 i, null);
 }

 But this gives me an error
 He doesn't like the item[i].

 Can someone tells me what I'm doing wrong I'm totally new to Jscript :/

i is the number (variable), but if you have inside " " it becomes a string.

the plus concatenates strings with variables

Re: Jscript question, building a shader.

[patrick nethercoat]

it's been a while, but my rusty jscript says you have to split this:

SetValue("Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Material.Texture_Array_Switch.values.Item[i].index",
i, null);
}

like this:

SetValue("Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Material.Texture_Array_Switch.values.Item["
+ i + "].index", i, null);
}

because i is your variable.
